1. Did they check out the gall bladder?

A friend of mine had similar issues along with incredible pain. It was pancreatitis and a gall bladder about to blow.

It took 3 months, btw, to get a diagnosis. (This was during the pandemic, and I know the hospitals had a lot going on!)
It was, believe it or not, an ER doctor who made the correct diagnosis.

I hope you feel great soon, but if not, I hope they can track down the problem and give you a treatment plan!
